Donald Trump campaign reportedly makes $7million from mugshot merch
Donald Trump’s campaign has made $7million (£5.6million) from selling merchandise with his mugshot on.The mugshot went instantly viral last week, when the former US president surrendered in Georgia on charges of plotting to overturn the state’s 2020 election results on Thursday (August 24).He then had to pay a bail bond of $200,000 (£160,000) to be released from the Atlanta jail, and now awaits trial. He later described the case as “a travesty of justice” and shared his mugshot to X (formerly Twitter) with a link to his campaign fundraising site.Less than two hours after the mugshot was taken, the entrepreneur’s online campaign began selling merchandise, which had the historic photograph printed on it.
